I'm looking to get a good winch for my 12 jku any advice that could steer me in the right direction will be appreciated. The most that I'm able to spend is $700. I've been looking at the warn 11000 and the quadratec 9000. If there are any other good products out there ill consider them. Also they must be compatible with the OR-Fab stubby bull bar bumper with the offset winch mount

Thanks gunbo75 everyone on here is really knowledgeable and helpful. If you don't mind me asking, what did you have to drop on your winch?

I've got the quadratec 1100 and I love it. So far it's pulled a huge ford out of the sand and pulled me up a 1.5 foot lip onto a trailer. I would definitely recommend it.
